Introducing the New Balance XC-72
Drawing inspiration from the past while charting a fresh direction, the New Balance XC-72 debuted in 2021.
Its striking silhouette, featuring an angular design and an extended outsole that wraps around the toe and heel, nods to the futuristic aesthetics of 1970s concept cars while adding a modern edge.
The split outsole, with two contrasting tread patterns, enhances both traction and visual interest. Meanwhile, the upper combines durable suede, mesh, and nylon, creating a dynamic mix of textures alongside long-lasting performance.
